one of the most spectacular places at the columbus zoo. >> how would this kill. >> it has to grab the throat and do the choke hold. they sit there five to ten minutes and the sad thing is what happens if they make a kill buzzard and vultures circle over. hyenas and lions say a cheetah made the kill and sometimes the cheetah. the lion will. >> can a lion kill anything basically. >> the king of beast can kill just about anything. elephant would be tough but they can do that if they get up on it. the cheetah is a cat that is solitaire. endangered throughout africa. >> they prefer to be alone. >> yes. she has cubs. if you catch them they will keep the cubs three to four years. the egyptians also, the

egyptians, i say do midwesty indicated. it is drawn on the inside of the pyramids exist nowhere in northern africa. in southern africa, zambia is where you find the cheetah. >> how can your folks be so relaxed. >> on her first birth of cubs she will eat or destroy them or let them no gochl they were born four weeks early. this is one of four. we saved two of them. right now we breed ten, 12 cheetah births a year. we have 10,000 acres next to the columbus zoo in ohio. it is magnificent. a beautiful creature. hear that noise, that is purring. >> over 100 meters if this cheetah against usain bolt who would win. >> you or me? >> no, the cheetah against the jamaican sprinter. >> this thing here. he wouldn't go ten feet without this thing -- >> really. >> we can't take one camera when we film it.

three cameras can't film a cheetah kill. it is like a cloud of dust. >> no faster animal in the world. >> the falcon is the only one, a bird, by the way, 220 miles an hour. >> in terms of a land. >> that's the fastest in the world. >> an amazing creature. >> again, for you to see that piers means a lot to us because you see the fastest mammal in the world, the cheetah. >> i have never been so close to an animal that you feel the power. this is not one of the really big cats but i can feel the power and aggression. >> next timely bring a full-blown tiger. just kidding. >> who's going to have a next time. >> the cat can use the tail like a sail. going 60 miles an hour it will help him turn. >> indisputably the ugliest, the wart hog. here he comes. some people say the wild beast is the leftover parts.

>> it is an ugly animal, isn't it? i know you love animals but you must agree this is a particularly ugly specimen. >> he's something. you see the warts on his face, those warts on his face -- when he gets full grown the warts get all over the face and helps protect when they fight sometimes. he has teeth -- like ivory come down his mouth like two knives. those things are very important for him to help protect himself. if a lion were to attack, the lion, cheetah, for example, the wart hog is the main source of food because he spends 60% of his time on his knees. he is out there eating grasses and stuff but it is an important animal for other animals. >> how much milk do they drink a day? >> he is weaning. >> look at the tail. see the tail? that will stick up like this. and that will show you. if that animal does this and starts to run, i don't care if

it is giraffe, zebra, they will take off. they know the wart hog has sensed something. they are bright animals and know when something is around. he digs holes in the ground and the hyena takes over his hole. they are an animal that people don't think are bright but the hog or pig is an intelligent creature these animals are. >> extraordinary. >> see that, right there. >> some of the cutest critters you will ever see. and another one of his animal close encounters with a malaysian cobra. >> they are keen to movement. oh! >> the end of the snake show was just as amazing. >> catch the snake now, huh. >> you are going to catch him? oh golly, wow! ♪

next, we have, i think this is a palm siva. he. >> his droppings are used to fertilize coffee. >> he eats a coffee bean. goes in his stomach, through his sbensens and they take it and bake it and $500 a pound palm civet. ten years ago in asia, this is the animal that causes the sars disease. not this animal but the species of animal. it is a delicacy in asia. sells $200. they use for perfume in the 40s or '50s and the animal, like the other one likes to eat cobras as well. can he eat a kinko bra. how does he do it.

he hits you like this. and you can predict it. this animal comes down on the ground and walks around the cobra. the animal is like this, and all of a sudden the creature runs around the cobra like this and the cobra is going like this trying to follow him and he gets so dizzy he falls over and bites the head off. it is funny. it is not funny for the cobra. >> unbelievable. >> he makes you go round and round and so dizzy he falls over. >> how would nature know how to do it but he knows how to do it. >> extraordinary. >> this animal here is one you have heard about. this, piers, is the siberian lynx. >> he will hold him. >> easy. yeah. just holding him a bit loose for my liking in case he decides to jump. >> this animal i'm sorry to say, this species of animal was declared extent in the wild a
